Like when I was a kid, seeing all the holiday decor around the neighborhood, the stores, the streets, always felt cozy. I don’t get that feeling anymore. I get the memory of it, but not the actual feeling. I don’t think I got jaded but maybe I did. What about you?
As a kid it was mixed. My parents would bicker sometimes. Seeing extended family was pretty nice. Getting gifts was nice. But it never was a magical fun time.
As an adult it’s hard not to see… How to say. People call themselves Christian. They buy nice toys for themselves and their close ones. They do nothing for the poor, hungry, and vulnerable among them.
It’s hard to feel good about a Switch2 when there’s hunger and concentration camps.
And then that’s extremely alienating when most people don’t care. They don’t care about anything. They just want their cool toy and can’t you just stop talking about all these upsetting things? They don’t want to fix anything they just don’t want to feel bad.
